"I agree. I don't find 25-mans enjoyable. I don't like the atmosphere it requires, and I don't like the drama it tends to bring. It's not about being easier, 10 mans are simply more fun. People can be more social, and it's less stress on the officers and players. I know some people like 25-mans more, but they have that option too, no one is taking it from them, and they're still getting the better gear anyway. More options are never a bad thing!"

i totally agree. but i believe the hardcore and non-hardcore raiding crowds are mis-understanding each other here.. or more like the non-hardcore's are mis-understanding the hardcores.

it's not that arthas/the lich king will be killable with a group of 10 people that gets the hardcore's panties in a bunch. it's the fact that they will not be able to look down on us non-hardcores for not being able to experience higher tier content. they feel threatened that the one thing that has taken hold of their very life will not mean much of anything anymore except to themselves (which btw is how it should be).

thats all it is... they are afraid that they will not be the gods that they once were.
